Subject: [PATCH v4] KVM: SVM: let alternatives handle the cases when RSB filling is required
Date: Wed,  7 Aug 2024 14:35:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240807123531.69677-1-amit@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@amd.com>

Remove superfluous RSB filling after a VMEXIT when the CPU already has
flushed the RSB after a VMEXIT when AutoIBRS is enabled.

The initial implementation for adding RETPOLINES added an ALTERNATIVES
implementation for filling the RSB after a VMEXIT in

commit 117cc7a908c836 ("x86/retpoline: Fill return stack buffer on vmexit")

Later, X86_FEATURE_RSB_VMEXIT was added in

commit 2b129932201673 ("x86/speculation: Add RSB VM Exit protections")

The AutoIBRS (on AMD CPUs) feature implementation added in

commit e7862eda309ecf ("x86/cpu: Support AMD Automatic IBRS")

used the already-implemented logic for EIBRS in
spectre_v2_determine_rsb_fill_type_on_vmexit() -- but did not update the
code at VMEXIT to act on the mode selected in that function -- resulting
in VMEXITs continuing to clear the RSB when RETPOLINES are enabled,
despite the presence of AutoIBRS.

v4: resend of v3 with subject-prefix fixed

v3:
 - Add a comment mentioning SVM does not need RSB_VMEXIT_LITE unlike
   VMX.
v2:
 - tweak commit message re: Boris's comments.
